I am very happy to be working with the extraordinary dark wave / punk rock band True Moon from Sweden in future. They deliver an enchanting blend of dark wave, post-punk, and alternative that eclipses musical trends. Formed by members of Grammy-nominated band Vånna Inget, Karolina Engdahl (vocals/bass) and Tommy Tift (guitar), they have created a charming darkness; together with Linus Segerstedt (guitar) and Fredrik Orevad (drums), they are a force to be reckoned with. Feel free to contact me for shows in fall 2024.

In October and November 2023 two fantastic bands from Liverpool will tour Germany and Belgium. The two-piece punk/blues outfit Dead Raze, “a mixture of MC5 and Leadbelly, the Stooges meet T-Bone Walker” and the kitchen core art punks Pete Bentham and the Dinner Ladies are back!

Hello folks,
I have decided to give up my tour van rental business in 2023.
You don’t earn much renting out low-budget tour vans anyway, the Covid 19 situation has torn a big hole in the finances, and there are more and more driving bans for older diesel vehicles in European cities.
I sincerely thank all the bands who have hired my vans for their tours over the last 7 years!
The good news is that I have created an online directory called Band-Vans.net where you can find most tour van and backline rentals and other tour services. I hope it helps you to find another van.

On February 21st, 2022, my friend Sam Henry passed away. He played in DON’T and JENNY DON’T AND THE SPURS, we worked and had lots of fun together since 2014. I’m still in shock and wish it wasn’t true, but I’m really thankful that I had the privilege to know him. We will all miss him terribly.

“Hello folks,
we want to come clean here… over the lockdown we have been trying to navigate through some serious setbacks that are preventing us from doing what we love.
It is hugely frustrating as you can imagine but Jeremy has been struggling with nerve damage in his elbow which is preventing him from drumming. On top of this, Robin now has some damage to his left hand (resulting in numbness) preventing him from playing the guitar properly.
For this reason, regrettably, we are having to cancel Undercover Festival and Events in April (Guilford).
We are happy to hear Mick got the legendary Omega Tribe on as our replacement.
We will let you know any updates as we get them, but at the moment there is no definitive prognosis so it is hard to predict when we will be up and running again.
Please bear with us.
All the best,
x The Restarts
